Step into Stanford University's Virtual Human Interaction Lab through this free-to-play VR tour on PC. Explore the science of virtual reality with hands-on demos that reveal the power of presence. Fly like a superhero, quarterback a football play, meet Grover from Sesame Street, view environmental impacts up close, see through another's eyes, and grow a third arm.
This immersive experience shines in room-scale setups with both hand controllers for full movement. Seated play and one-handed options work too, though flying and third-arm scenes need both hands. World leaders, executives, students, tourists, and community members once lined up for these Friday tours-now anyone curious about VR's societal effects can join in.
For nearly two decades, Stanford University's Virtual Human Interaction Lab has been a destination for world leaders, corporate executives, students, tourists, and community members to learn about the science behind Virtual Reality (VR).
It was simple - every Friday at 4pm, the first 24 people who showed up got a tour of the lab. Soon one tour a week wasn't enough to meet demand as groups from all over the world became curious about this new technology. Over the years, at least 15,000 visitors made the trip. But now, travel to Stanford is no longer required. We are bringing the lab to you.
In this immersive tour, you will learn about the power of presence, fly like a superhero, deepen your understanding of human impacts on the environment, become a football quarterback, meet Grover from Sesame Street, see yourself as another person, and even grow a third arm.
With VR technology now widely available, it’s more important than ever to understand its impact on people and society. Join us in exploring how we can use this powerful medium to enhance our everyday lives.
This piece is best experienced walking in a room scale set-up using both hand controllers. We also support seated and one-handed play. Note: One-handed play does not include the flying or third-arm scenes.
